    Norwegian Air Long Haul Flight Review For Budget Travellers!

    September 29, 2018

    Edit: Below is my personal Norwegian Air flight review. However, this edit from my most recent experience. We flew for a 3rd time with Norwegian Air, and while the flight itself was flawless (except for one rude-ish flight attendant), we did not receive our suitcases for 3 days. It did not make it from Gatwick-London to Singapore. Now, that’s fine, and I get it might happen. But we were advised by the lost baggage office in Singapore that we could potentially claim for the items we had to purchase in the 3 days we didn’t have our bags. Imagine leaving London in freezing cold with winter clothes, and arriving in…

    Tips for a Long Haul Flight; What To Take, and What To Do!

    September 24, 2018

    Currently flying from Bangkok to Stockholm right now, and this non-stop 12 hour journey can either be a drainer, or pretty comfy. Hopefully we survive this long-haul flight! I’ve put together a quick list of essentials that can either make or break a long plane ride. Check them out and let me know if you have any more tips or tricks to add! Check the requirements for carry on luggage. Most airlines we’ve come across will allow a carry on bag (various weights and sizes depending on the airline) that you will store in the overhead locker, and will also allow a smaller bag that you can store under the…

    Goodbye Island Life….

    September 23, 2018

    So long story short, we have now left Koh Tao. The place where we made our lives for the past 5 years; made a home, created life-long friendships (cheesy but true, especially when you work, drink, eat, even sometimes live aside one another!), and most importantly, started our diving careers from Open Water students, through to Master Scuba Diving Trainers. To run through it quickly, the biggest reason we left the comfort of our island home is because we are looking for the next challenge, and in that, we decided that we needed to find something that will set us up for our future. We love being Scuba Instructors, and…

    Just a little, quick, tiny, minute, update to let you know what we are currently up to. And boy, it’s a wowzer! We left Koh Tao a three weeks ago to come to Europe for a few weeks to visit Lionel’s family in Switzerland and my family in the UK.  The lack of updates is due to catching up with family, catching up with deliciously, heavy food, and sheer laziness. It is ridiculously freezing, and while we’ve had a few ‘sunny’ days – it is nothing like Thailand! (Though it is currently monsoon season over there so we left at a good time!) We are constantly cold here, wrapped up in…
